The catering industry has experienced the biggest changes in food safety laws for 15 years, through 'The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006'.

In March 2009, the Food Standards Agency issued an update to the 'Safer Food, Better Business for Caterers' pack. Please ensure you are using the correct version to comply with the law.

If in doubt, see the FSA website, where you can easily order a new updated pack. Alternatively, you can download the full pack in .pdf format (2.65MB), as well as an introduction explaining how to use it.

CaterBuy CD-ROM Yearly Food Safety Diary Refill

In order to assist Members to comply with food safety and hygiene legislation, CaterBuy has put together a comprehensive document, 'The CaterBuy Food Safety Diary Refill', to cover 12 full calendar months. The Diary is available on CD-ROM at no cost to CaterBuy Members and is printer friendly.

'The CaterBuy Food Safety Diary' is FSA compliant and combines the previously issued key daily and weekly food safety control forms, together with the monthly diary sheets, into one comprehensive document.

A DVD guide has been produced to help Caterers to use the 'Safer Food, Better Business' pack, which is available in 16 different languages. The guide is divided into separate sections for staff or managers, which each take about 15 minutes to watch. You can view it online at http://www.sfbbtraining.co.uk/ or you can download a copy to your computer.
